I like 5 more than 3&4. 1&2 were great movies about a fighter, 3&4 were great fight movies, but they were very soft when it came to the story. I always thought 5 was trying to get back to the story, but because 3&4 were so popular people wanted more action than story. 6,7&8, people knew they weren't going to get a Great fight, so they expected the story to be stronger than the fighting. For me 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 6, 3, 4.
